Sword Militia are a Feudal era buckler shield melee infantry unit.

In-Game Description

In the eastern regions the first line of defence is the militia, who are villagers armed with simple swords made in their fief by a smith more used to making farm tools. Sword Militias are a nasty surprise to roving bandits, but in larger battles they are best suited to swamping the enemy or acting as reserve infantry to strengthen a collapsing front.

Acquisition

Sword Militia can be acquired from the Melee Infantry unit tree, where they cost 500 honour (after unlocking their prerequisites). This cost can be partially or fully defrayed using up to 20x Sword Militiaman's Signaculum.
